23A1 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 23A1 to a binary number. First note that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F) and the binary number system has only two different digits (0 and 1).

The four steps used to convert 23A1 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 23A1 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 23A1 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 23A1 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 23A1 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
A × 16¹ = 160
3 × 16² = 768
2 × 16³ = 8192

Remember that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits, so when doing the above calculation, we use the following values if applicable: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15.

Step 2)
Next, we add up all the products we got from Step 1, like this:

1 + 160 + 768 + 8192 = 9121

Step 3)
Now we divide the sum from Step 2 by 2. Put the remainder aside. Then divide the whole part by 2 again, and put the remainder aside again. Keep doing this until the whole part is 0.

9121 ÷ 2 = 4560 with 1 remainder
4560 ÷ 2 = 2280 with 0 remainder
2280 ÷ 2 = 1140 with 0 remainder
1140 ÷ 2 = 570 with 0 remainder
570 ÷ 2 = 285 with 0 remainder
285 ÷ 2 = 142 with 1 remainder
142 ÷ 2 = 71 with 0 remainder
71 ÷ 2 = 35 with 1 remainder
35 ÷ 2 = 17 with 1 remainder
17 ÷ 2 = 8 with 1 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with 1 remainder

Step 4)
In the final step, we take the remainders from Step 3 and put them together in reverse order to get our answer to 23A1 hexadecimal to binary:

23A1 hexadecimal = 10001110100001 binary
